Situated on San Bartolo hill, on a natural slope facing the east, the cemetery witnesses the centuries-old presence of a Jewish nucleus in the town of Pesaro, which contributed to shape the cultural and civil identity and the local economy.
It was established at the end of the 17th century by a particularly flourishing and large community, grown with the arrival of some families from Ancona (after their flight because of the destruction of the quarter for a fire) and from Portugal.
